 Neo-Geo began its life on a cool morning in Spring 1990. It was an attempt by the SNK Corporation to bring the arcades home. By placing their machines in both arcades and for sale as a home console, everybody played the Neo-Geo at some point. I, myself remember pouring quarter after quarter into Samurai Showdown. Other great games included Metal Slug and, my all-time favorite, Bust-A-Move.
The only major problem with the system was its prohibitive price tag. With the console priced at $899.99 and games running between $200-$300 each, only the most spoiled of rich kids could have one in their home. But no, thanks to emulation, all us poor shlubs can have a go. Have fun!
KBMAME
As some of you may know, MAME can run Neo-Geo games as well. KBMAME was created for those folks who just want Neo-Geo emulation and nothing else. By focusing only on the Neo-Geo, KBMAME is updated more often and works better than MAME, and is also a smaller file. As always, you have to download ROMs of your favorite games in order to play (see below). Have fun!

 The Intellivision was released in 1980 after the release of the Atari 2600. Over the years that the Intellivision was sold, roughly 3 million units were bought. With tons of classic games like Baseball, Sea Battle, Swords & Serpents, Utopia, and countless others, it is little wonder that people decided to emulate this great system.
Intellivision Lives!
Intellivision Lives! is a commercially released Intellivision emulator. Though this means that it works better than most emulators, it also means that you have to buy it if you want the full version. You can download several games for free, however, to wet your appetite. If you really want more you have to buy it at http://www.makingit.com/bluesky/lives.shtml.
The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) made its debut in 1985 and changed the entire face of video gaming. No longer the limited to just geeks, the NES brought home console gaming to the masses. During its heyday, Nintendo had over 85% of the market. Though the NES died in 1991, the fan base hasn't.
To set another milestone, NES emulators are the most popular and the most plentiful. Since emulators can never capture all the intricacies of the original console, some emulators work better with some games than others. Try a few and have fun!
iNES
iNES is one of the oldest and most versatile NES emulators. It works with almost every single game, with very few glitches. After downloading the emulator, you need to download ROMs of your favorite games (see below). Unfortunately, while there is a recent Mac version available for download, the only PC version is from awhile ago. The full PC and various other versions (ie Linux, FreeBSD, etc.) can be found for sale at http://www.komkon.org/fms/iNES/. The Mac version is a demo, but can be registered as a full version at http://order.kagi.com/?E4&S.

Very few people remember the Sega's answer to the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), the Master System. Born in 1986, it sold moderately well, but was never a match for the Nintendo. Its most interesting feature was that it could accept two different types of game media: cartridges and cards. The cards were smaller and cheaper to produce, but never really caught on. Only seven games were ever released in card format. Despite its lack of popularity, it was still a great system. Games like Action Fighter, Alex Kidd, Space Harrier, and the original Phantasy Star are still referred to today.
Interestingly enough, the Game Gear was based on the Master System. This means that all the emulators listed below will play both Master System and Game Gear games. Two for the price of . . . well, none! Could you ask for anything more? I thought not.
MEKA
This emulator is so good, you really don't need to look for another. With almost perfect emulation of both the Game Gear and the Sega Master System, this emulator is just amazing. It even has light gun emulation! Sound support is there, it just needs to be turned on in the options. Of course, you still need to download ROM images of your favorite games from the links at the bottom of the page. Have fun!
Master Gear
The only good emulator for the Game Gear and Sega Master System on the Macintosh happens to be fairly good. Master Gear lets you play games for both systems with relative ease. If your mac still runs System 7, you also need to download the Appearance Manager in order for Master Gear to run. As always, use the links at the bottom of the page to download your favorite game ROM images.

Back in the summer of '82, a new wave of video games hit the home market. The Colecovision burst onto the scene, outselling both the Atari 2600 and the Intellivision. Dubbed the "third-generation" console system (Atari 2600 and Intellivision were first and second), the Colecovision scored a major coup when it convinced Nintendo to license Donkey Kong as the pack-in title.
With hardware that dedicated more memory to graphics than any other machine on the market, the Colecovision quickly climbed the charts and was the best selling console system in 1983. Except for the Atari 2600, the Colecovision had more games than any other system. On top of that, Coleco released an Atari adapter that allowed you to play all Atari 2600 games. Not that the Colecovision needed those games. With classics such as Smurf Rescue, Looping, and Spy Hunter, the Colecovision will always have a place in the gaming lexicon. Have fun!
Virtual Colecovision
Virtual Colecovision is bar-none the best Windows Colecovision emulator. It runs a vast majority of ColecoVision games with full sound. If you want to play Coleco games on your PC, this is the emulator to do it with. Don't forget to also download ROMs of your favorite games from the ROM sites at the bottom of the page.
ColEmNot to be outdone, the Macintosh also has a spectacular Colecovision emulator. ColEm is remarkably stable and runs almost everything you throw at it. Though native to the PowerPC and MacOS 8, you can play it on slower systems with a couple of additional downloads. You can also add NetPlay! Of course, you also have to download ROMs of your favorite games from the sites listed at the bottom of the page. Have fun!

Created by NEC and originally released in Japan in 1987 under the name PC Engine, the Turbo Grafx-16 hit US store shelves in 1989 about four months before the Genesis did. Though the graphics processor was 16 bit, the machine was still powered by an 8 bit CPU. While sales of its Japanese counterpart were good, the Turbo Grafx-16 failed to make a splash in the US. Four months were not enough to give the Turbo Grafx-16 enough market share, and once the Genesis and its true 16 bit architechture hit the market, it was all over.
Concentrating more on graphics then on gameplay (a big no-no in our opinion), very few of the games for the Turbo Grafx-16 were actually "fun". Add to that the fact that Nintendo and Sega had exclusive deals with most game manufacturers and there just wasn't enough room for NEC. There are still some great games that you can now enjoy through the glory of emulation including Valis III, R-Type, and some of the best Pinball games ever. Have fun!
Hu6280
This is the newest Turbo Grafx-16 emulators to hit the scene, and it's a good one. It's easy to use and supports almost every single game. Hu6280 is the best Turbo Grafx-16 emulator you can get for free. Of course, you still need to download ROM images of your favorite games from the links at the bottom of the page. Have fun!
Power PC Engine
Power PC Engine is a fair emulator, and the best you can get on a Mac without having to pay. Nothing really special about this emulator. It supports most games and has good sound support. Why not give it a try? Use the links at the bottom of the page to download your favorite ROMs. Note: You need Appearance Manager if you are running System 7.

After being in the planning stages for many years, Nintendo finally released the Super Nintendo (SNES) in 1991 to much fanfare. Unfortunately, their initial timing in the US was bad. The Sega Genesis had existed for two years and had over a hundred games, including the best selling game of 1991, Sonic the Hedgehog. Though not as fast as the Genesis, the SNES had the ability to show more colors and, in some cases, better graphics. Clawing its way up from the bottom, the SNES ousted the Turbo Grafx-16 and, although it never outsold the Genesis, it built a huge library of games and a huge fan base.
SNES emulators are some of the most plentiful on the web. Most have excellent compatibility and play a whole host of games. Have fun!
Snes9X
Snes9X is one of the best know SNES emulators. Definitely the most compatible of the emulators, Snes9X also has full sound support and Netplay! The Mac version requires the Appearance Manager to run in System 7, and the NetSprocket to use Netplay. Try this out, you're sure to love it. As always, you have to download ROMs of your favorite games in order to play (see below). Have fun!

Introduced in August of 1989, the Sega Genesis started the 16-bit revolution. Though it was beaten to the market by NEC with the Turbo Grafx-16, the Genesis quickly built a large library of games and gained the top spot in the industry. Even two years later, when the SNES hit the scene, Sega refused to yield the top position.
With popular games such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Shadowrun, Toejam & Earl, and Mutant League Football, it's little wonder that some folks created emulators for the machine. In the end, the Genesis had over 600 different games. So, have fun reminiscing about the glory days of Sega.
Genecyst
Though it only works in DOS, Genecyst is, bar none, the best Genesis emulator on the PC. With full stereo sound, saving and loading options, and the fastest graphics around, you can't go wrong with this emulator. As with most emulators, after downloading the program you have to download ROM files of the games you want to play (see below). Have fun!
DGenYes, folks, it's DGen, the best Genesis emulator for the Macintosh! With good compatibility and decent sound support, DGen is the one to get. Native to MacOS 8, you need to download the several files to use it with System 7. You do have to download ROMs of your favorite games in order to play (see below). Have fun!

The Sony Playstation was released in 1995 to a lot of industry skepticism. Coinciding with the release of the Saturn, many industry pundits doubted that the newcomer Sony would stand up to the two industry powerhouses, Sega and Nintendo. Sony, however, quickly proved them wrong.
Since then, the Playstation has risen to the top of the industry, causing the death of the Saturn and outselling the Nintendo 64. According to the most recent figures, there is a Playstation in one out of every six households in the United States. Not bad for a newcomer.
This popularity has led to the creation of two retail Playstation emulators.While they aren't free, they run better than most emulators and are constantly being upgraded. However, they only play the games off of the Playstation CD's. In other words - no ROMS. Try it out and have fun!
Virtual Game Station
The Virtual Game Station was the first successful Playstation emulator. Created by Connectix, it runs an amazing number of games with very few problems.
It's so good, in fact, that Sony has sued Connectix in a court case that may decide the outcome of the entire emulation scene. Connectix's main defense is that the Virtual Game Station will not read ROM images of Playstation games. You must have the Playstation game in the CD-ROM drive in order to play it. To buy the full version, go here http://www.virtualgamestation.com or try the demo today!

bleem!
Taking over where the Virtual Game Station left off, bleem! is the first retail Playstation emulator for the PC. Though still in its early stages, it shows great promise. With two player compatibility and 3D accelerator support, bleem! is sure to be a hit. As with Virtual Game Station, bleem! will only play games off of original Playstation disks.
The demo version below is a crippled version of bleem!. While it is just as compatible as the full version, the designers have disabled all sound (except CD Music), 3D Acceleration, and full memory card support. Other than that, it works great! As always, the better your computer is, the better bleem! will run. You should have at least a Pentium 166 with 16MB of RAM.
Note: Sony has filed a lawsuit against Bleem and it looks like they've won. You're free to try this demo, but it is no longer supported.

The Nintendo 64 was the last of the next generation machines to hit the market. With both the Playstation and the Saturn already out for at least a year, it was an uphill battle to gain market share. For awhile, it seemed as if the N64 had a lot of potential, but no good games. With the release of Goldeneye, however, N64 quickly gained almost half of the market, pushing the Saturn into obscurity.
Since its release, gamers have been looking for a way to emulate the N64 on a computer. Once thought impossible, it has now been done to significant success. Two different emulators have hit the scene, one for the Mac and one for the PC. Have fun!
UltraHLE
UltraHLE was the first working emulator for the N64. It stands for Ultra-High Level Emulation. UltraHLE is not a conventional emulator by any stretch of the imagination. Instead of trying to emulate every part of the N64, UltraHLE emulates only specific tasks, the rest it turns over to your 3Dfx card to handle. Yes, you need a 3Dfx card in order to run UltraHLE (any Voodoo card) and a fairly high end computer. Of course, this means that not all games work on UltraHLE. Though the product has been discontinued, you can find all information, and user upgrades, at http://www.ultrahle.com.
You, of course, need to download the ROM's of your favorite games in order to play them (see below). Have fun, and don't forget to eat every now and then. Download both links below. The ultraini file adds support for more games!
PC Only v 1.0 (175K)

Ultraini (19K)

TrueRealityMore of a traditional emulator than UltraHLE, and the only one that works with a Macintosh. It requires OpenGL, a 3D card, and a PowerPC or G3 in order to work. Though far from completed, it is still being worked on. This newest public release does play some commercial games, but not many. It is known to play Super Mario64 and Wave Race the best. Of course, you still have to download the ROMs of your favorite games.
 I know that you remember PacMan and Asteroids, but do you remember Pengo? How about Burgertime? Bank Panic? Tapper? Spy Hunter? Bubble Bobble? Elevator Action? I bet you haven't played any of those games in years. Now you can play them all, plus about 1300 others, absolutely FREE! This is not shareware, or a demo, it's free.
MAME is an emulator that you use to play all these games. It uses 'ROM' files to emulate the original programming of your favorite arcade classics.
Here's how to do it: Download MAME and install it. Then go to one of the 'ROM' sites listed below. Download your favorite ROM's from there (You'll have over 600 to chose from). Play the games. More fun for you!
Get the lastest version of MAME from the official download page!

 The Game Boy is the oldest video game system still on the market. It is considered to be the best handheld system ever made. Recently, Nintendo released the Game Boy Color and have seen their sales skyrocket once again. With great games like Legend of Zelda IV and the best version of Tetris ever made, the Game Boy brought portable gaming to the masses and has earned its place in video game history.
HelloGBHello! No, I'm not being courteous to the Game Boy, I'm just trying to tell you about one of the best Game Boy emulators for the PC, HelloGB. It works well, runs fast, and has full sound support. Not enough, you say? Well, how about saving and loading options, auto frameskip, and joypad support! What more can you ask from an emulator? As always, you need to download Game Boy ROMs (see below) in order to play any games. Also, requires DirectX 5.2 or higher.
Virtual Game BoyVirtual Game Boy is, bar none, the best Game Boy emulator for the Macintosh. With full sound, save states, and even full color support, it's a testament to what can be done with emulation nowadays. It requires either a PowerPC or a G3 and MacOS 8 to run. You can run it on System 7, however, but you need the Appearance Manager to do so. As always, you need to download Game Boy ROMs (see below) in order to play any games.

After the Game Boy was released in the US in 1989, Sega realized that they too had to enter the portible game market. In June of 1991, they found their answer in the Game Gear. Basically, the Game Gear was a portible version of the Sega Master System, and used much of the same architechture. It's advantages over the Game Boy were obvious. Besides being in color (capible of showing 32 colors at one time, unlike the now Game Boy Color's 8), the Game Gear boasted a larger screen that was backlit so you could play your games in the dark.
Emulation buffs love this system for the sole reason that if you emulate the Game Gear, with a few tweaks you can also emulate the Sega Master System. So, while the ROMs are still different, any of the emulators that you download below will also play Sega Master System games. Cool, eh?

The Commodore 64 was released in September of 1992 and was the successor to the VIC-20 computer. All the Commodore 64 came with was a keyboard, a CPU, and a power cord. You had to use a television screen as your monitor. With 64K of RAM and being the first computer with a separate dedicated chip for sound, the Commodore 64 was a well priced, decent computer.
Though it was intended to be a computer, its fans mostly used it for gameplay. Hundreds of great games were made for the system until it stopped being produced in 1992. In the end, the Commodore 64 sold over 17 million units, making it one of the best selling computers of all time. Through the glory of emulation, we are now able to see what all the fuss was about. Have fun!
CCS64
CCS64 is one of the best Commodore 64 emulators. Though many of the features are locked until you register, it still supports most everything that the Commodore 64 supported and is very fast. As always, you have to download ROMs of your favorite games in order to play (see below). Have fun!
Comeback 64Though one of the newest Commodore 64 emulators, it still works very well. It has full sound support and is fairly compatible with most games. On top of that, it's being updated all the time. You do have to download ROMs of your favorite games in order to play (see below). Have fun!
Power64Power64 is the best Commodore 64 emulator for the Macintosh. It runs full speed on any Power Mac and has full sound support. On top of that, it's one of the most compatible emulators around. If you own a Macintosh, this is the Commodore 64 emulator to have. You do have to download ROMs of your favorite games in order to play (see below). Have fun!
